The Spirit of Cheerleading is a Sport like any other The quote, "Together we stand, together we fall. All for one and one for all!" by author Mariabella (qt. by Ninemire), embodies the pure heart and soul of the activity known today as cheerleading. Cheerleading, something defined as the actions of a person who leads spectators in traditional or formal cheering, especially at a pep rally or athletic event (Cheerleader), has drastically changed from its origins in the 1890s, having time to…

paragraph 4 makes it seem that these guys or whoever they were , were also playing dangerous with one another, because in the last sentence of paragraph 4 says, make two people fight on the top of a stairway and scratch each other's eyes in a clinch tumbling down the stairs. It seems like in this poem that there was commotion going on and lots of emotions. These emotions were being expressed through the sound of the instruments being played with. Through out the poem the focus is on :sadness…

Picture this, it’s a lovely Friday night and you decide to attend your school varsity football game. You walk along the bleachers and see the cheerleaders cheering on their team, you think nothing of it.

The first and most overriding reason I want to attend Baylor University is…

just gotten a new skill and I had already lost it. I did not like sitting out, watching my teammates, so I kept working to get stronger and eventually healed. It affected me a huge amount thinking I would not be able to get my tumbling back. I learned what not to do while tumbling, plus how much I do not like injuries. Furthermore I got my old/new skill back, plus it is better than ever. In the end I would not be here, doing great, without my injury.…

of the last time I went for my back tuck and hurting my back. It was the 1st day back of the season I just got done with level 6 practice and now was in level 7 I cross compete with 2 teams. We were missing 2 flyers so the 1st day was more of a tumbling day. We were working on roundoff back tucks and standing tucks. The majority of my team needed help on roundoff back handspring back tuck or just roundoff back tuck, so we made a station where you had to run do a roundoff and then tuck and…

When you hear late nights, long practices, fierce competition, rivalries, teamwork, determination, injuries, and Friday Night Lights; what comes to mind? Football? That may be true, but these elements also apply to the reality of cheerleading. Cheerleading is an activity that as been around since the late 1800’s and is currently struggling to receive its qualification as a sport. Title IX, an education amendment, is a major factor that impedes cheerleading from being considered a sport. Title IX…
